In an effort to help I take it from your post that you can't read the end of the engineering number on either leaf. Would follow what you posted.

Guess you don't have a buildsheet but we may be able to help you focus your search better. If you would PM me the cars options and build date (either one may help) and I'll see if I can help out

Might want to add this info to your signature as others have to eliminate this step when posting in the future ;)

Sent you a message.  I got the engineering number from the MPAC.  I could be reading it wrong though.  Also details on my signature line now.

Since you have a 351 Mach 1 (body style 63), according to the MPC it lists: C9ZA-5556-F, or D0ZA-5556-G, or D0ZA-5556-H

Most likely this is due to engineering changes that occurred during the model year.  As is often the case, your build date and assembly plant will play a role in determining the best choice.  Will need input from owners of similar cars.

With no other information, and a car that late in the model year, I would lean towards either D0ZA-5556-G or D0ZA-5556-H

That was the conclusion I was coming to.  I think ill take a G set or an H set just depending on what I can find.

Did finally get around to checking buildsheets and though they don't spell out which springs were installed but given when you car was built it was likely D0ZA-5556-H and possibly D0ZA-5556-G.

I only see the stamping on one (1) spring I have, but perhaps this helps you in some way?
